tdd
tdd is an code AI skill with a core value of Test-driven development. It
helps developers solve real-world problems in the code domain, boosting
efficiency, automating repetitive tasks, and optimizing workflows.
Test-driven development. Use when the user wants to build features or fix bugs test-first, mentions "red-green-refactor", or wants integration tests.
mkdir -p ./skills/tdd && curl -sfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills/main/skills/tdd/SKILL.md -o ./skills/tdd/SKILL.mdRun in terminal / PowerShell. Requires curl (Unix) or PowerShell 5+ (Windows).

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Does this generate test mocks?
Many testing skills include mock generation. Check the install command and skill content for details.
Does this handle breaking changes?
Refactoring skills identify breaking changes but always run your test suite after applying suggestions.
Does this work with Figma?
Some design skills integrate with Figma plugins. Check the Works With section for supported tools.
Is tdd compatible with Cursor and VS Code?
Yes — this skill works with any AI coding assistant including Cursor, VS Code with Copilot, and JetBrains IDEs.
Do I need specific dependencies for tdd?
Check the install command and Works With section. Most code skills only require the AI assistant and your codebase.
⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
Not testing edge cases
AI tends to generate happy-path tests. Manually review for boundary conditions.
Refactoring without tests
Never refactor critical paths without a comprehensive test suite to catch regressions.
Skipping usability testing
AI-generated designs should be validated with real users before development.
Skipping validation
Always test AI-generated code changes, even for simple refactors.
